“Dad! Dad! There’s somebody at my window! They’re knocking at my window. I saw a shadow pass by my window,” the man, identified only as Raul, recalled his son exclaiming. The father of three explained to KHOU what he did next:

Went into the closet and I grabbed my handgun and loaded it up.

As KHOU pointed out, Raul’s surveillance camera was dismantled by the suspect, who was later spotted standing in the middle of the street.

“I saw him shooting down the street,” Raul said. “I wasn’t gonna shoot at the guy in the back, but if he had started running toward me, I would have definitely taken him down.”

“I heard two gunshots, and as soon as I heard two gunshots, I went ahead and looked out my window,” Rubio said.

Rubio’s surveillance cameras caught the burglar escaping into a light-colored, older model Cadillac or similar sedan with aftermarket rims, police said. The suspect, according to police, is a clean-shaven white male in his mid-20s, roughly 6-feet tall, with short hair. He was last seen wearing gym shorts and a light-colored muscle shirt.
